Hi, Thanks for the help.
Hi Jim, the link http://www.techknowledgecorp.com/public/word2frame.pdf was a great help. Carey, I'm afraid I do not use frame script. Jerilynne had suggested to convert the Word tables to tab delimited text, then copy/paste them using the Paste > Special > Text option. Once the text was in Frame, highlight the text and convert it to a specific named table based on the standards for template. This is feasible for my current situation. Regards Radha Carey Bates <Carey.Bates at computershare.com> wrote: I have also use Framescript for this - you convert the word document using a script that you then convert into Frame (text) sort of like an inset. I can send an example if you are using Framescript.

Radha, a search of the archives for this list and other lists that discuss FM (e.g.,techwr-l and techcommpros) will offer some good advice for this. O'Keefe and Loring's "FrameMaker 7" book discusses the process and the Table Cleaner plug-in on p. 187. Also, the document at http://www.techknowledgecorp.com/public/word2frame.pdf offers an excellent overview of Word-to-Frame conversion efforts, has a section on table conversions, and includes a Word macro at the end that can be used on a MIF file to facilitate the process. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:framers-bounces+jim.pinkham=voith.com at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Radha Padmanabhan Sent: Friday, October 19, 2007 3:19 AM To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Word tables to FM Tables? Hi, I have to update an existing FM Book with new requirements. I am given a Word document with about 10 tables (and lot of other text content too). The size of the tables range from 5 to 40 rows and 3 to 5 columns. Is there a way to quickly copy/import that Word table data into FM tables? My FM files have named, designed tables. Using FM7.0 with XP. Thanks for your help. Regards Radha __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
